Closing the book, but opening a new page

Slanted Fish

Poptropica’s Facebook fan club, one of our resources for Poptropica sneak peeks and updates, will be closing. This message was left on their chat wall:

Well, fans, at the end of this week, we’re closing up shop here on the Poptropica Facebook page. The good news: You can continue to get sneak peeks and breaking news over at the official Poptropica blog (http://blog.poptropica.com)! And keep an eye out for one more special treat for our Facebook fans before we go.

There’s also a new Froot Loops quest for younger Poptropicans, on Main Street (see picture below). For older players, you’ll be playing Monster High.

Hellos & Goodbyes

Coskit’s Goodbye.

This post is written by Coskit—ignore the author attribution.

Hijuyo’s Note

To make a long story short, many of us on chat have realized that we need to have a proper power balance control, and part of that included making Coskit a mod. She didn’t like that and made up her mind to leave.

You can still contact her on the Poptropica Help Chat.

Coskit’s Note

I’m leaving this blog in the hopes that people will learn respect and lose suspicion. I’ve tried and tried, but it looks like the hard way is the only way. And this is it.

Goodbyes:

Hijuyo, this is for you. I’m staying on the chat, at least for now. You brought me into this by modding and ownering me, and of course I’m grateful to you for that. You answered all my questions. Thank you.

Smockers. When I saw you, you always made me laugh with your jokes. You gave me Membership (although I later lost the password to that account 😮 ) I’ll always remember you as the funny man and Hijuyo’s right hand.

Neat Whale – Oh, NW. What can I say? You were more than a friend to me. You comforted me, made me laugh, and were one of the best online friends I’ve ever had.

Coderkid – I’ve only met you a few times, but you showed me a determination and efficiency to accomplish goals  that I’ve never seen before.

Hyper Star – We had so much fun together. Master and Nack. It was great. I don’t know where you’ve been lately, but I miss you on the chat already.

I’d just like to say, if it seems like I’m blaming anyone or insulting anyone in this post, I’m not. I hold no grudges. I want to leave with a clean heart and mind, just as I came here.

I’ll still be on the chat once in a while. If not the PHB chat, then my chat or one of my friends’ chats. You know where to find me.

Goodbye, for the last time.

*poof*

Straight from the pirate’s mouth (i so funnae):

Skullduggery Island launch dates announced!


Secret’s out: Skullduggery Island will open to the public on June 17. Members can cast their sails beginning May 20!
I’d be more excited if I didn’t expect everyone to turn their cannons on me the first chance they get…

See you on the high seas of SkullDuggery, mates. =D

If you signed up for the island alert, you should have received an e-mail from [email protected] [Poptropica Creators] telling you about the release dates for Skullduggery Island. Here’s the [awesome] description:

Embark on a new adventure to save Skullduggery Island from the wicked Captain Crawfish. Once a thriving port, the island is at the mercy of pirates who steal its goods and prevent merchants from trading there. In order to restore the island, you and your crew will have to defeat the pirates and assemble the pieces of a hidden treasure map.

And THAT’S why you shouldn’t pay US$2.99 just to watch a video. ^_^ An official (and better) Skullduggery Island trailer is now available to those who waited for it:

^In the official Skullduggery Island trailer above, you may have noticed that you’ll be steering your own ship similar to the way you flew your rocket on Astro-Knights Island. The seas and lands you’ll be exploring look something like this bird’s-eye view:

Oh and this also appeared on the Poptropica Facebook page…

For our Facebook friends, a look at a very early sketch for Skullduggery Island. Wait until you see the final version!
And don’t forget to embark on a trip to count your lucky stars: located on the map, you could win a slim chance of getting an EARLY ACCESS SNEAK PEAK OF SKULLDUGGERY ISLAND! Have fun. 😀 ~ Hyper Star/Athena

Bird boat?

Slanted Fish

On the Poptropica Facebook page, there’s a special sneak peek for Skullduggery Island, clearly related to the bird boat seen yesterday. The “scrambled” bits of the picture in the last sneak peek are clearly arranged here and obviously belong to this ship.

Looks like this Skullduggery Island ship is almost ready for its christening! Wonder what it’s called…

What do you think? Here were some thoughts from other Poptropican players on our Poptropica Help Forums:

  • “Looks like a weird ceremony for the preparation of a ship.” ~Setew2
  • “Maybe food for the bird so it doesn’t pick your eyeballs out? …just theory.” ~Coderkid
  • “The pirates are birds.” ~Sanzulines
  • “To christen a boat you smash a bottle champaign against the side.” ~MuddyDragon
  • “Maybe it’s some lame trap? o_0” ~Happy Fang

This large vessel seems to be designed to look like a bird, and this scene shows that it is about to receive a name. Yellow ribbons aligned on the dock and a bottle of apple cider hanging from the sky portrays a celebration, but what’s with the seed bag? ._.
